hip hop classics from ll cool j 1985

in what might be something of an unexpected reissue move, early rave belter -sweetness & light- from australian duo itch-e & scratch-e gets a fresh airing for the 21st century no less than 25 years after it first landed in a hailstorm of bright melodic lines and raucous tempo. in its original form -sweetness & light- is everything you could possibly want from an early trance stormer, all plush layers of harmony reaching an emotional crescendo over an irrepressibly bouncy beat. the -for life- remix meanwhile flips the script with a blissed out, chord-heavy version that slows the pace right down, possibly for the original fans of the tune who need things a little slower now.

vor zehn jahren veröffentlichte daptone records zum ersten mal diese zusammenstellung mit ende der 1960er jahre nur als singles erschienenen songs des new yorker duos bob & gene. das von tollen vokal-harmonien dominierte sweet soul music-album, samt titelgebender marvin gaye/tammi terrell- coverversion von “if this world were mine”, war damals schnell vergriffen und ist seitdem ein gesuchtes sammlerstück. jetzt ist es wieder erhältlich, wieder auf vinyl, jedoch remastert und um zwei nicht auf der original-version erschienenen tracks erweitert. 1967 waren die beiden teenager bobby nunn und eugene coplin die stars des in buffalo, new york ansässigen und auf lokale gospel- und soul-acts spezialisierten labels mo do records. bobby nunn veröffentlichte später soloalben auch auf motown records und arbeitete mit rick james und philip bailey zusammen.

after you listen to these, you’ll need to put on a new pair... panties001 consists of 3 sexy smooth, yet vibrant r&b bootlegs sure to heat up any dance floor. though each track brings its own unique flavor, there’s an unmistakably familiar vibe that carries throughout the release.

a1 is a deeply psychotic acid death march into confusion, so minimal and primitive (kick, snare, acidsquelch) it will challenge every beard and armpit and might even hypnotize the dj to the point he cannot mix in the next one. a2 is a straight up commodore 64 sid track with mongoloid data elephants tooting over a wobbly and tarded electroish beat. b1 is a dystopic dreamy rave stomper, starting out kinda datacuddly but gets more and more serious, with choirs of fable mooers taking you into that virtual bad trip you need. b2 continues as expected with more c64 sid madness, so snary i cant even determine if its in 115 or 230bpm.

the fourth release from gardens of gods imprint sodai is the barcelona based, egyptian dj and producer raxon with his &#8203,,,detla ep&#8203,,. a trend-setter, the former-architect exhibits a cogent production style making him an fitting addition to the label. a special track for raxon, &#8203,,detla was created en route to cape town for a big festival. i thought i would need to make some changes after the show, as is often the case, but the track worked, so i left it exactly as it is in its first original arrangement&#8203,,. &#8203,,which any producer will know is rare&#8203,,. the ep kicks off with an enticing intro, growing layer by layer with a detailed arrangement of ethereal synths and minimalistic percussion. a full breakdown mid-track leaves you craving more, before the final drop in all it’s stomping glory. on the flipside, &#8203,,jungle express &#8203,,features a hastier intro and a balearic-inspired drum pattern. a siren hooks you in as it drops into a bass-ridden techno roller. raxon &#8203,,has &#8203,,received critical acclaim east of the mediterranean, boasting best dubai dj in 2013/14 by time out dubai. developing and collaborating, raxon has continued to develop his career working with imprints and artists including ellum and diynamic. catching the eye of tastemaker john digweed, raxon has featured as a special guest on his transitions radio show twice cementing his place in the techno scene.

last volume of this compilation series, again a great one.., holding amazing tunes from across the globe that you probably already have been looking for.... tip!! . over the last five years and as many volumes of their beach diggin’ compilations, guts and mambo have explored the reefs of five continents, dredged the sea beds of countless seas and oceans, examined every single seashell with the aim of making sure that no vinyl pearl should escape their notice.

nice price deal !!! the kooky scientologist should need no introduction - unless you dont get fred giannellis sense of humor. hes played everywhere, for everyone, and killed it every single time. smartypants, aka mike uzzi, has released on traum, sentrall, and of course zero g. he is a staple of the north east underground party scene. rounding out the compilation is zero g label boss eddie o., known for his releases as triton on both zero g and skor. the first minicompilation on zero g sounds features the best of the old school and new school. representing the old school is the legendary fred giannelli, aka the kooky scientist. this time around as the kooky scientologist, fred gives us a dose of what it really sounds like inside the head of tom cruise. demonetics rides a fat bass line, up-front stabs, and layered percussion. just when you think youve figured it all out, it takes a left turn as we are treated to freds signature quirky melodic noises

nice price deal !!! one of singapore s finests zouk club resident djb returns, this time on soulfuric trax with an electrifying new release called ive got to know.the zouk main mix is a driving slice of main room house with a wicked breakdown whilst the welovehouse@zouk mix keeps things on a slightly deeper but equally energetic tip. for the floors that need a touch of tech, djb delivers the after midnight dub and his instrumental mix is a highly effective, rawer interpretation. djb throws in the dj drum tools as an added bonus. dont sleep on this one

proof of the rude health of the australian underground abounds with this new label from phile, who step out with a self-titled debut ep that tells you all you need to know. this is searing, brutalist techno crafted with invention and imagination - the dense crackle of the beats and scorched peals of synth on -found in blood- are a visceral force to behold. -marauder- is mellow by comparison, furnishing a minimal beat with live bass, dramatic string licks and steadily building atmospherics. the analogue dirt of -abhor- is positively evil, and that s before karina utomo s none-scarier vocals come into play. brimming with personality and demanding of your attention, phile made themselves a duo to watch in one fell swoop.

its certainly not easy keeping up with tuccillo. the relentlessly productive producer has been constantly firing off dancefloor bombs on labels as respected as visionquest, one, holic trax and 8bit for years, but never before has he turned his hand to an album. finally, hes decided to do the right thing and give us a deeper insight into his sound, and he s doing it on his own unblock label. fans will get everything they crave on a part of 20, as tuccillo indulges his dancefloor sound and keeps the quality level as high as ever. there are some choice guest turns from vocalists on tonight, feeling hot and again, but throughout the album tuccillos commitment to the stripped down, emotive house groove remains constant.

damon yates, aka martianman, set up 4th planet recordings to release music by people which includes some of his more favorite artists. artist that simply need to have more music released. it involves the same basic idea that he had when starting up the martianman volumes which is to release original, high quality jungle with a completely underground feel. not only the bass and drums are important for the vibes but the whole feel of the music is in play. it can be completely futuristic sounding or full of old school vibes though out. however it’s served up just know that it is underground.

henrik schwarz and !k7 are proud to announce a collaboration that will bare many different musical fruits. the first of these is a brand new label called between buttons, curated by henrik and focused on acoustic sounds and contemporary compositions. between buttons will be in partnership with !k7’s own neo-classical hub 7k!, and will kick off with a new mini lp by schwarz entitled works piano, followed by an ep entitled aphorisms by syrian artists khaled kurbeh & raman khalaf ensemble. mixing up old and new technologies, experimental and more classical approaches, the label will see schwarz forge new paths in his own work, as well as curating material from the peers he has worked with over the last 15 years. mainly made up of acoustic sounds, piano, string quartets, self-built instruments, percussion and intriguing classicist elements with a modern twist, there will be eps from piano virtuoso bugge wesseltoft, as well as other electronic producers wanting to show themselves in a different, more unplugged light. “in these times of constant turbo mode, likes and thumbs-up, we need to go back to basics,” says henrik. “we want to move away from the idea that relentless hasty productivity is a must, and instead take time to create space, to let ideas mature and to focus the mind on subtler sounds.” works piano will be a four track mini album that uses a yamaha disklavier as the starting point and reimagines it, reworks it and alters it with various digital and recording technologies. one track is a created with a reactive algorithm and one is composed purely from altered and processed piano sounds.

mannella brings a rousing 12’’ ep, enclosing a sunil sharpe’s remix done with the forthright purpose of make you go ape. the original mix of “nibiru road” is a ever-changing techno story, told by a steady groove and such a badass kick-drum. a vitalizing ebb & flow of that rubbery synth and that melodic, a bit saturnine pad, that let you fly to the next planet. “fourth dimension” has been recorded from one of the live performance that mannella is doing under dahraxt alias. the hypnotic bubbly atmosphere created around that chopped pad, delivers this track to another dimension of delight, giving it a unexpected slant. sunil sharpe doesn’t need introduction, since his multiple releases on imprints such “trensmat”, “labrynth”, “mord”, “mindcut”, “inner surface”, “works the long night” , “black sun records” or his own “on the hoof” to name a few, have made him the well appreciated artist that today he’s. with this rework he confirms how much enthralling his charisma is. jts004 “it can only be attributable to human error.” cit.
